About Tour Guide Tim D.
I came to Japan in 1998, intending to stay a few months, but enjoying Japan, I never left. I was intrigued by the history, culture, language, and food. And the fascination and excitement of exploring and learning new things about Japan still exists with me today. The variety and choices of things to do and places to go can be overwhelming. I can offer you suggestions and a unique perspective on Japan. I can share local knowledge about things often missed. Fluent in Japanese with a master's degree in Japanese Studies and living in Japan for over 20 years, I can be your guide.

Tokyo in a Day: Iconic Landmarks and Cultural Gems Tour
“Great Tour! ”
On our first day in Tokyo we had a tour with Tim. He was very helpful and communicative prior to the day and met at the place without any complications. Showed our some amazing spots, was kind and welcoming to our one year old son and we had such a good start to the trip thanks to his insight and knowledge. Thanks Tim

“Saw places I would not have done on my ow ”
Tim did a great job showing us the many facets of these exciting areas in Tokyo. His command of the English and Japanese languages were great. He selected some great places to sample traditional Japanese food and followed it up with drinks and great sightseeing. I would recommend this to anyone that wants to see more of Tokyo than shrines and temples.
